From: TSN.comAfter 12 seasons in blue and white, the Maple Leafs have traded Tomas Kaberle to the Boston Bruins in exchange for prospect center Joe Colborne, the Bruins' first round pick in 2011 and a conditional 2nd Round draft pick.
If Boston resigns Kaberle or they make the Stanley Cup Finals, Toronto gets the 2nd round pick.

Should be a good opportunity for Colborne to break into the NHL with a team that has a few good young players but isn't in playoff contention.
Will be interesting to see if Burke keeps Joe up with the Leafs or sends him to the Marlies. Since Toronto is out of it, it wouldn't surprise me to see him play with the Leafs the rest of the year to see what he is made of. Does he get to play with Bozak and Kessel since Versteeg was also just traded from the Leafs?
I am surprised at this deal.
Colborne is so not Brian Burke's type of player...
Colborne with Boz together on a line,--- love to see it.
Joe is no longer with a team that invested its first round draft pick in him. No easy rides from here.
Wish him the best and agree that it would be awesome to see him play with Bozak. Joe was one of my favorites on the team when he was here.
From TSN.ca "Colborne will report directly to the Toronto Marlies, the Leafs' AHL affiliate."
Hopefully Big Joe finds his niche in Toronto. It seems the only thing that would hold him back is his finesse style, as opposed to being a real power forward. Otherwise he has all of the tools.

I know this is way off the subject of the Ostrow injury, but it looks as if the Leafs and Bruins are working on a trade that would send Tomas Kaberle to Boston. And in return it looks as if the Leafs covet a series of draft picks, former CC defenceman Mark Stuart, and Joe Colborne. Colborne and Bozak playing together would be sweet. I'd def become a Leafs fan!
